    It was a really nice game for the first 10 hours max. Then it became a grinding machine game, trying to loot anything around just to progress. It kinda made me get bored of it really quickly.

    The best Open Word Game i played. The Word is just beautiful. The Roboter Monsters are so impressive and cool do fight with them and the Story is so interesting I just love it.

    Uno de los mejores sandbox de la generación, el Gameplay y la lucha contra las máquinas es brutal, puedes afrontar cada combate con las distintas máquinas. La exploración es brutalmente reconfortante. El Lore es muy bueno, el universo tiene mucha profundidad. Lo único que añadan más vida o posibilidades en las ciudades

    El Horizon Zero Dawn diría que lo mejor del juego es el apartado artístico, los colores, los lugares, las personas son de 10 igual que las maquinas claro. La banda sonora te expresa un aire de buscar, de investigar, de curiosidad y eso es maravilloso. Hay algo en que se diferencia del Zelda y es el sistema de combate. En Zelda esta el apuntado, lo que se invento Nintendo en el 98'. Horizon la pelea cuerpo a cuerpo bueno es lo peor del juego. No eh visto nada peor. En cuanto el tiro con arco, hacer las flechas, comprar o encontrar la armadura me encanta. Inova en lo lindo no. En lo lindo que se ve todo, diría que es la combinación de Zelda y The Witcher III.

    Mi nota es de un 8.6/10.    … Expand

Graphics are lush and detailed, and at 4K RTX I can’t stop taking photos of the landscapes. Gameplay is fairly smooth. Although jumping is a bit clunky and the ability to lock on to targets is sorely missing. Otherwise, performance and mechanics are all pretty solid and satisfying - fun to play.

    I don’t usually talk up the story on games - even the best game story usually pales in quality and creativity to other mediums (literature, film). Horizon is the exception to the rule. The story is compelling from the first exposition scene and manages to keep enough hidden to hold your interest throughout the course. Even on multiple play through, this balance is felt. Voice acting is overall very good, with dialogue that mostly manages not to be too cheesy. But RPGs gotta RPG, so the tropes and cliches are still found sprinkled throughout - the just tend not to be load bearing.

    Look, if you haven’t picked this up yet on sale for 30 bucks or leases, what are you waiting for? It’s twice that in gameplay hours, easily, and one of the finest gaming experiences of the past decade. The sequel, when it’s released, will be the reason to finally buy a PS5.    … Expand

    Se trata de un título ambicioso y que se separa por completo de lo que el estudio había hecho hasta ahora, llevándonos así a un mundo abierto, controlado desde una perspectiva en tercera persona, con un profundo toque rolero y una singular protagonista.

    Una persona, solo armada con su arma y muchos gadgets frente a una serie de amenazas robóticas gigántescas. Una planteamiento muy interesante, pero con una ejecución aún más brillante, al hacer que esa joven, Aloy, sea mucho más que una cara, sino que consiga brillar con luz y personalidad propia, haciéndose merecedora de un huequito en nuestro corazón ya desde los primeros compases de Horizon: Zero Dawn.

    CONCLUSIONES:
    Un juego magnifico con una historia realmente impresionante y divertida en un mundo abierto con unos gráficos espectaculares...

    fun. Was there such a fun game with a bow? However, an incomplete open world is vain. I wonder if the play time is too long. The worldview is great, but the story isn't very good.

    The game was phenomenal, from the graphics to the story. Has some minor flaws but easily overlookable because of how good the game is. No game is perfect and in my opinion minor issues shouldn't change the outlook on a game.

    From the begining to the end I thought about my assessment of this game. On one side - a huge world, original setting and environment, chance to kill mechanical dinosaurs, a lot of side-qeusts and other activities. On second side - not perfect technical part of the game with problem face animation in dialogues and etc., not the strongest story and plot, which doesn't give a chance to the game to be perfect.

    So, it is a massive game with beautiful world and landscapes (especially in The Frozen Wilds DLC), but not a masterpiece. In my opinioin Horizon stopped a step away from it.    … Expand

You play as a girl who lives in a wild world inhabited by different human tribes and full of dinosaur-looking machines. You are discovering the past of the world that once belonged to a different civilisation. The story is not really a masterpiece but it is a fairly interesting story about another, sort of, post-apocalyptic world.

    Combat and exploration is pretty balanced and I never got tired of any of it. The only thing that lacks creativity is melee combat; it just does not look that great as firing arrows, which you will mostly be doing. Higher difficulty can give you a pretty challenging combat and if you are into exploring the world and following the main quest without having stressy fights all the time - the developers took care about it too.

    Weak spots in this game are side quests. They are typical RPG side quests (go there and kill 5 things, then go there and stealth kill another 5 things). Some of those quests will reveal more background to certain parts of the main story but most of them can be totally skipped.

    Another weak spot are face animations of side characters. They are not that good as face animations of the main characters. Here and there you will spot the same faces (there was some “copy-paste” work…).

    All in all, this is indeed a nice adventure game that might become a great franchise.    … Expand

Every fight is unique, you have an abundance of weapons at your disposal and dozens of enemies to choose from. You can fight them or not. You can explore the world or just go with the main story. I'd go as far as to say this is the most enjoyable I've ever seen fighting a sword/bow be in a game. And the story itself is super gripping too. Especially in the later parts. It's a great, 20-30 hour game. Maybe not a 10, if the relations between people were more meaningful and the game was less linear overall that would be a 10. But it definitely deserves a 9/10 for me.… Expand

    The open world is gorgeous and the robot animations are terrific. So are the gameplay, its controls and the battle mechanics. Figuring out the best strategies for hunting the various machines doesn't get old for quite a while. The game also features a very enjoyable soundtrack.

    While the game and character animations look great, transitions and cut-scenes sometimes lack a bit in cinematic quality. This is particularly apparent in interactions with simple quest givers or side missions: Characters just stand across each other for a while talking, with the camera cutting (and jump cutting) between them in a very simplistic way. The side missions generally fall a bit flat compared to the great main story, at least they never quite captured my attention to the same degree.

    To me it is a rather challenging game at its standard difficulty, although a rewarding one. Also, the game offers what they call the "story" difficulty level, which is great for players who just want to experience the story and prefer not to worry too much about the combat.    … Expand

    The unfortunate fact of Horizon is that most of what it does well, other games have done better, and they did it with a compelling who and where. This is the game you play after you’ve finished The Witcher 3, Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate, and Far Cry: Primal. It is the greatest hits compilation of open-world games. Yeah, sure, you might want to own it, but the real connoisseur has the original albums.
